Organic Flanders Red
Complex fruit notes, with aromas of plums, prunes, plump raisins and late summer raspberries, this is a classic Belgian-style ale reminiscent of oak-aged red wine. A long rest in our european foedres leaves a memorable note of sophisticated wood. Pairs well with dry-aged beef, robust stews, and bold cheeses.

650mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark orange amber with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of semi-tart dark red fruits, balsamic, and Worcestersshire sauce. Flavour is tart, fairly dry and somewhat fruity, with tart red fruits, gentle balsamic, some Worcestershire sauce, and a touch of vinous character. Not super complex but reasonably integrated. Pleasant.

Amber and hazy. The aroma is oaky, seems like brett c on there, and it's clean. A light body, vibrant, oaky, tart. This is well-balanced, with fairly clean acidity. Mellow berry notes, and lemon peel, this is quite good.

650mL bottle. Pours murky dull orange with a white head. Raisins, plums, and a touch of balsamic on the nose. Flavour has golden raisins, plums, a very light touch of balsamic, tart raspberries, a touch of sweet-sour lemon. Nice, moderate complexity.
